"Goodmorning!" My grandmother greeted me as I walk down their old staircase.I smiled a bit and look around,I saw the lady and the young one sitting on the old long dining table with mama for breakfast. "Come join us hija." They all smiled widely. Ngumiti ako at umupo sa gilid ni mama kung saan nasa center table sya, infront of me is the young lady.

I was waiting for someone to put breakfast on my plate when I realize I'm not home. I pouted before doing it all by myself.

I felt proud.

"Ito si Bianca, pinsan mo." The girl smiled at me and a waved a bit. "This is her mother Annitha, kapatid ng papa mo. "She smiled a little and continue eating.

"Hello uh--" I've met them when I was like 2 years old? Naik-kwento ni daddy.

Linunok ko ang nginunguya at ngumiti ng kaunti.

"Ahonoama." Kinunot ni Bianca ang noo nya. "You can call me Aho."

"Shortcut ng baho?" I did not give her any reactions or emotions. I'm not offended though.

"But the last person who called me that died." Napataas sya ng kilay at napatahimik.

It was to be sarcastic.

Mama held my hand and I look at her, she look at me like how my mom look at me when I have a problem.

And she looks at me like she knows my problem.

"Bianca!" Suway sa kanya ng mommy nya.

"Ang ganda naman ng pajam mo-- wait! Versace ba iyan?!!" She even stood up. I smiled a bit and answer her.

"Mom gave me this as a present." Napa-wow sya at ngumiti.

"Sana all!"

I just smiled and continue eating.

"Saan mo gustong pumunta hija, pagkatapos kumain?" Mama asked.

"B-baka po matulog nalang muna ako sa kwarto p-para makapagpahinga. I'll wait for dad's call." Napatango ang matanda.

"Kung gusto mo naman sa sabado nalang tayo gumala, sakto may practice kami para sa PETA!" I look at cheerful Bianca.

"O-okay." I said, ngayon ko lang napansin na naka-uniporme pala sya.

Natapos kami kumain at nag-prisinta ang mommy ni Bianca to do the dishes.

Or should I call her Auntie Annitha?

She smiled at me before turning her back ang do the dishes, Bianca left for school.

Isang buwan na rin akong hindi nakakapasok and I'm sure im drop out by now.

After this case, when I'm free, I'm going to study at States with Gad.

I smiled at that thought.

I went back upstairs and wait for dad to call but lunch time came, no one rings my new phone. They already called me for lunch so I had to, still wearing my pajama, I went downstairs but to my shock I saw a man sitting with them.

The man look at me as he feels my presence.

"Oh, kumain na tayo Aho!" Tawag ni Auntie.

Ngumiti ako at umupo sa pwesto ko kanina. I look at the man infront of me, he also look at me with wrinkled forehead like he's questioning who am I.

"Kumain ka na apo!" Napansin ni mama ang titig ko sa binata. "Ito si Jaerik, anak sya ng kapatid ng asawa ng auntie Annitha mo." Napatango ako, Bianca's cousing.

Nginitian ko sya ng tipid, kinunutan nya lang ako ng noo at nakipagusap kay mama tungkol sa kung ano man business sa farm?

Yun ang rinig ko.

He's like same age as my Gad or older?

I dont know.

I just want to go back home.
